LXLE will not update after install
 

Just installed LXLE 12.04 32 bit on my Thinkpad T42, every time I try to use the update manager or synaptic package manager I get this error and it says I have to fix it,
E:Method has died unexpectedly!, E:Sub-process returned an error code (100), E:Method /usr/lib/apt/methods/ did not start correctly

anyone know what this is. I have no clue and cannot install anything.
I have installed it a couple of months ago and had no problems on another T42.

Post your /etc/apt/sources.list.

In case you need to know how to answer EDDY1 question.

Open up a terminal and copy and paste and then hit enter and post back here what it spits out.

First hit I received on google for your error message.

But answer EDDY1 question first before trying out anything if I was you.
Just to be on the safe side.

@rokytnji that is a great link but I wonder if they tried before rm

This is my /etc/apt/sources.list
 

OK here's what I got

stephen@stephen-ThinkPad-T42:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

The link provided did the job!
 

I answered EDDY1 question and followed the instructions on the link and it took awhile but work great. Thanks Everyone

Great glad you got it working.

I also am glad it worked out for you. I see LXLE is using Precise.
If they come out with a Trusty version. It might benefit you to do a fresh install based on that version.

And whaddya know. They did come out with a Trusty version.

Your precise version needs to be based on Ubuntu 12.04.5 version to have the below kind of support.

If a older version of 12.04 like I will show in the link below. Well, you should get the idea.

Shucks, I missed this part

You might have to wait a bit till a 32 bit version is released maybe.
Just a idea you may not have considered. I like their game over edition myself. It is based on Debian Testing instead of Ubuntu. Runs on 32 bit systems also.

Just a idea for your next project install is all.
Happy Trails, Rok

I will try that out. I have several computers, think I'll try out the Sparky Linux 1st. I'll post about it later.
Thanks
